GTA 6: release date, platforms and pre-orders
Grand Theft Auto VI is out on 19 November 2026. Here's what is actually confirmed about platforms, PC, the story and how pre-orders work.
Grand Theft Auto VI is out on 19 November 2026. After two delays and years of rumours it's easy to lose track, so here is what is actually confirmed, and what is still guesswork.
When does GTA 6 come out?
Rockstar has set the launch for Thursday 19 November 2026. The game was first promised for 2025, then moved to 26 May 2026 and then to November. Rockstar said both delays were about giving the game the time it needed to reach the quality they want.
Which platforms?
GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It isn't coming to PS4 or Xbox One, so an older console won't do. It runs on both the Xbox Series X and the cheaper Series S.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Not at launch, and Rockstar hasn't given a date for a PC version. History points one way, though: GTA V reached PC a year and a half after the consoles, and Red Dead Redemption 2 about a year after. If you only play on PC, expect to wait until 2027 or later.
What is it about?
The game is set in the state of Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida, with Vice City at its heart. The leads are Lucia Caminos and her partner Jason Duval, and the game switches between them. The two trailers Rockstar has released show a criminal couple in a world of social media, swamps and beaches.

While you wait
If you haven't played GTA V in a while, it's still one of the biggest games around, and the Enhanced edition has better graphics and faster loading on PC. Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's previous big game and shows how detailed their open worlds get. Both are cheap now.
